Goya

Zaragoza, Saragossa to the English is very proud of Goya. He was born not far away in a village called Fuendetodos, where they show some old houses and usually art exhibitions.
There's a lovely monument to him in the Plaza del Pilar in Zaragoza. The man himself is on a high plinth, overlooking two "Majos" and two "Majas", based on his paintings of the same names; young men and women sitting on the ground.


 Next to this tribute is what looks like a stone pillarbox, in which Goya was buried in Bordeaux.
